934,405. Original application filed June 22, 1906,

county of Flint, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Dynamo-Electric Machines, of which the following is a specification. t

This invention relates to the combination upon a'single stator and rotor of the windings of an induction motor and-those of an alternating current commutator motor,,i. e. a series motor, a repulsion motor or a series repulsion motor.

As is well known, one of the chief disadvantages ofthe alternating current series,

motor is that it cannot be employed upon an electric supply of high frequency-in fact a frequency of is about the limit at which 'the motor can economically be used nor can the motor be employed with s highvoltage on account of sparkingat the eommutator, 250 volts bein the usual pressure,

motor windings is rendere According to t 1e present invention the supply for the windings of the. series motor part of the machine is obtained from the induced winding-generally the rotor winding--ot the. induction motor part of the machine. In this way the su ply to the series d independent not only of the frequency of the original supply but also of the Volta e, for. the ratio or the turns in the stator an rotor windings of the induction motor art can be chosen at will andso also can theratio ofthe number of turns of the two windings. Since all the windings are arranged upon'a single stator and single rotor, the machine will still be an economical one for it will not involve the j high copper losses and high self-induction that would attend the use .of a separate induction motor and A; C. series motor. Simi- Iar remarks will obviously a ply in the case of a repulsion or series repu ion motor.

The invention is diagrammatically illus trated in the accompanyingdrawing, in

which-- Figure 1 shows the induction motor combined with a series motor. Fig. 2 the combination of the induction motor-and re ill sion motor, and Fig. 3 the combination 0 an induction and a seriesrepulsion'nioton' In Fig. 1, '1 mdicates the stator'winding for the induction motor part ofthe machine, 7

and 2 the rotor, windingfor" this part. ,The rotor winding is joined to slip rings r and s, andthese in turn are connected, the one to one terminal of the stator :winding 3 of the series motor part of the machine, and the other to one of the brushes 30 upon acornmutator 29 which is joined to the rotor winding 4 of that part of the machine. The other brush 30 is joined to the remaining terminal of the stator windin 3 so as to put the stator and rotor winding in series. f

The terminals of the stator winding]. are ]01!16(l to a source of alternating electric curr ent supply, and the alternating flux thus =produced.in the iron of the stator induces ciilrrent in the rotor windin j 2. As the machine begins to rotate, the Irequency of the current in the rotor winding 2 will diminish, this frequency being always. governed by the difference newts; the speed of therotor' and synchronous speed. Moreover if there are fewer trirns on the rotor than on the stator the currents generated in the latter will have a less voltage than that of'the supply to the stator winding 1. These currents of the reduced voltage and frequency" pass into the stator winding 3 and throu rotor winding 4, ihese two windings there fore act precisely like an ordinary A. C. series motor, and obviously by suitabl do signing-the windings l and 2 the ve tage 3 and 4: may be fixed as required. I.

In Fig, 2 the brushes 30. are short-en'- Except' for this change the action is exactly as above described.-

In Fig. 3 the parts of the series motor are all present just as in Fig; 1, but a second;-

pair of brushes 34 is added electrically at]:

result, the windings 3 and 4 now aetasthp of a series repnlsionmotor derivingits su ply from the rotor winding 2. t the action is exactly that described w tlzj no be furtherdetailed. j 3

I It is only necessary to re-assert what a l pears from the introduction, that the win Ings 1 and 3 are upon a single stator and the windings 2 and 4 are'upon a single roton; It will be understood that the rotor windtherwise e the brushes-30 and commutator 29 to "t e H e5 and frequency of the supply to the windings .90 cuited and this of course makes the windings '3 and 4 act like those of a repulslon niotor. q

brushes 3'0 and t brushes are short-circuited together; Asa:

ings or the stator winding which is in series with them, may be wound for any number of phases, and any known means of compensation' may be used.

The pole members of the two windings on each art must be so chosen as to make the windlngs mutually non-inductive, as is set forth in my previous application, Serial No. 322,879 filed June 22nd. 1906, of which the resent application is a division.
